Hi guys need some help please. Finally after 16 years have decided to
upgrade from my 03 R1 to a 2016 R1 just not sure it's really a 2016.
I tried using vin check but can't get a year. JYARN321000002996
According to everything I have just searched is.... that VIN tag is not real. The 10th digit is the model year. That has a zero and in the VIN year breakdown there is no zero, only 1-9 and most of the alphabet. For a 2016 model year it should be a G. I'd stay away from that bike... could be stolen, salvaged... who knows.
yea that looks fake. my vin i believe its supposed to be JYARN and then 40e or 40n for the country code i haven't see three numbers before. my vin tag also has year and month manufactured. does the vin on the sticker even match what's stamped into the frame by the forks?
Hi Guys thanks for the replys called Yamaha dealer the number is legit.
It's a 2015 model not 2017 as they advertised..Rode the bike anyway,
Bad Idea as now I really need one
Seems here in South Africa they are all zeros Just checked my 03 and it is the same zero where the year is but when I do a vin search on that it does show the year. As I'm looking for a 16+ doesn't really matter.😀
@Kevap Different places use different systems, in Japan for example they do not use VIN numbers at all on bikes.
I didn't spot OP was in SA until the last post.
Recently purchased the 2020, i have an AR GPR2 exhaust on order and i would like to flash it when it’s installed. I cant find any products on the market for the 2020. Anyone have any suggestions?
Please help keep an eye out guys:
VIN is JYARN40E1HA000666, stolen from Nassau County
full woodcraft sliders, aftermarket clipons, saddlemen seat, aftermarket CF triangle side fairing bit.
Hey guys, I needs some help making a decision lol. I love riding (as we all obviously do), i have no problem riding the street except for the fact that the r1 really isn't that comfortable and I tend to give in to my speed demon. I've really been thinking of posting my factory fairings for sale...
Hello R1 fam,
Looking to purchase a new R1 in 2020 and wanted to pick you guys' brains.
I love the R1M concept; electronic suspension, Ohlins out of the box (spoke to Thermosman and he said you can respring for bigger guys, no issues), and data logging. Plans would be to put a system...
